Annex 49 3 Chin State Health Report 2018 Foreward Chin State has the highest maternal mortality ratio in the country, malaria prevalence is exponentially higher than national average in certain townships, and as much as 41 percent of children under-five are stunted.1 The population is extremely poor, and its geographical location makes many places hard to reach and prone to natural disasters like flooding and landslides. Decades of underinvestment in health have led to poor health outcome for many of the country's most vulnerable populations, including those residing in Chin State. With the framework presented in the National Health Plan 2017-2021 (NHP), things are about to change: Myanmar is committed to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) by 2030. This means that everyone can access needed quality health services without suffering from financial hardship as a result. Realizing the goal of UHC does not only contribute to better overall health for the population, it also supports sustainable economic growth and helps building stronger communities. For the successful implementation of the NHP, the Ministry of Health and Sports are prioritizing bottom-up planning and budgeting at State/Region and Township level that is inclusive of all relevant stakeholders. This is essential for reducing overlapping or duplication in health service delivery, which is the key to efficient and effective utilization of the health budget. The Chin State Health Report 2018 is one of the three state health reports which will work as a template for how to plan, structure and implement inclusive state and township health plans nationwide. The plan is an important first step to ensure access to primary healthcare and for making UHC a reality in Myanmar. Sincerely, Pau Lun Min Thang Minister of Social Affairs, Chin State Government 1 Government of the Union of Myanmar, Ministry of Immigration and Population. The 2014 Population and Housing Census, URL: http:// countryoffice.unfpa.org/myanmar/census/ 4 Chin State Health Report 2018 Process of Report Development In late 2017 and 2018, State Health Departments and key partners working at state and township level in Shan North, Chin State and Kayah State participated in several planning and budgeting meetings organized by State Health Departments in collaboration with the central Ministry of Health and Sports (MoHS). At the time of this report writing, a series of workshops have been conducted. The first workshop was held in Shan North in November 2017, the second and third workshop in Kayah State in early and late January 2018, the fourth and fifth workshop in Chin State in March 2018 and April 2018. The finalization workshop for Kayah State was conducted in July 2018. The objectives for these workshops were to: 1) to get a better understanding of the state/region and township challenges related to planning and budgeting, 2) to explore methodologies for planning and budgeting, 3) to share best practices, and 4) to develop national guidelines for State/Regions that are inclusiv of State/Region specific data and information. These workshops also gave the MoHS an opportunity to share the national policies and strategies, including the National Health Plan Universal Health Coverage goal, as well as specific disease program strategies. All key stakeholder groups were invited to attend the above-mentioned state health planning and coordination workshops. The NHP recognizes the variety of providers that are delivering health services including Ethnic Health Organizations (EHOs) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Professional Associations and the private sector. Furthermore, the local State Government and Parliamentarians were actively engaged to ensure State-level ownership and leadership. Crucial to the inclusive planning and budgeting process is the development of national, standard planning and budgeting templates and guidelines. These will be rolled-out nationwide to inform the involved stakeholders of the tools, guidelines and processes. The process of the Chin Health Report 2018 will inform the development of a national, standard planning and budgeting template and guidelines - including situation analysis, planning, costing and budgeting, as well as the important roles of different stakeholders in ensuring the successful implementation of the developed plans. 5 Chin State Health Report 2018 Acronymes 3MDG The Three Millennium Development Goal Fund ACT Artemisinin-based combination therapy AMW Auxiliary Midwife ANC Antenatal Care ARI Acute respiratory infection BHS Basic Health Staff Basic EPHS Basic Essential Package of Health Services CDK Clean delivery kit CHW Community Health Worker CSO Civil Society Organization COL Cirrhosis of Liver DMO District Medical Officer DP Development Partner EHO Ethnic Health Organization HTR Hard to reach IEC Information, Education and Communications INGO International Non-governmental organization LIFT Livelihoods and Food Security Trust Fund LLITN Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Net MoPF Ministry of Planning and Finance MoHS Ministry of Health and Sports MPLCS Myanmar Poverty and Living Conditions Survey NGO Non-governmental organization

Program updates WFP updated that 83 percent of the WFP emergency response in central Rakhine is now under full cash-based transfer (CBT). The first batch of e-cash in Sittwe will be sent to the beneficiaries by wave money on 6 November, and the second batch is planned for the second week of November. WFP started distributing 2,500 keypad phones to support households that have no access to mobile phones. There were some pending from the September cycle, and SMS will be sent to them during the first week of November. WFP provided monthly food and cash assistance to 45,000 beneficiaries in Kachin and about 7,000 in northern Shan. WFP also assisted 500 HIV/TB patients in Yangon and some 2,000 beneficiaries in urban Yangon. There was a question on the plan to expand the programme in central Rakhine. Finding a financial service provider is one of the challenges in implementing e-cash in Rakhine. WFP conducted a pilot cash programme in Meezar, Paletwa rural, as the beneficiaries in the area have access to rice from nearby markets, though at more than double the normal market price.
